i just got 2 used headlights that i ordered today in the mail today, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...EWA:PIC&ih=008 looks really clean but except that the driver side headlight has a loose parking light cover inside the lens itself..has anyone ever have this kind of problem before and knows how to get back in place? it seems almost impossible to get it and put it back in place, don't want to open it up or anything to it. i already email the guy for a replacement, hopefully it will work out...

your best bet is to crack that bad boy open. really easy, and you can reuse the glue if you open it right. lots of DIY on the site. basicly, 200 deg. for about 5 min, check every minute, and just pull it open using oven gloves or wet newspaper. tighten, and if you are fast enough, you shouldnt even have to reheat em to reseal.
also, great find! 100 bucks for 2 headlights, jez

yeah it's a good deal alright, got both for $180 shipped looks almost like brand new..plus just got an answer from the seller and he says for me to send it back and i'll get another good one
.. oh yeah i already tried using a plyier but don't want to risk damaging it plus i don't trust opening it myself b/c i tried it on my old headlights and it didn't seal to good..btw my old headlight are for sell

btw do anyone knows if paint shops could put the original paint into a spary can so i could spray the front bumper to it's original color? i don't want to take it to the shop or have to buy paint guns etc...

You can buy kit for that. It looks like spray can with a tank for a paint. But will be better if you will buy a spray gun, i found mine for $15, it's maybe cheap but good enough for me.
